Depending on your browser’s settings, you may first have to select a save location or confirm the download. If your browser alerts you that BlueStacks may be harmful, download BlueStacks anyway—BlueStacks isn’t a harmful program, and as long as you’re downloading from the BlueStacks website, you won’t be downloading malware.

For example, if you used Google Chrome to download the file and Chrome usually downloads items into your PC’s “Downloads” folder, that’s where you’ll find the BlueStacks setup file.

This can take up to 10 minutes.

This will start BlueStacks. For instructions on opening BlueStacks from your computer’s Start menu, check the first three steps in the next part.

If you opened BlueStacks by clicking Complete in the last part, skip this step and the next two steps.

If you need to change BlueStacks’ language, first click the current language above the LET’S GO button and then click the language you want to use.

If you don’t have a Google Account, create one before proceeding.

You can also click the app’s name in the drop-down menu that appears below the search bar. If this takes you to the app’s page, skip the next step.

If the app begins installing immediately after clicking INSTALL, skip this step.

Download an APK file for the app you want to install. Select the ⋮ icon to the right of the “Installed apps” heading on the BlueStacks Home tab. Click Install apk in the pop-out menu that appears. Select the APK file by clicking it once. Click Open in the bottom-right corner of the window.
